Rule

This field supplies the name of the portfolio or benchmark that holds the named securities. The portfolio name is used in reporting.

A returns file can contain data on any number of portfolios.

Like a security name, a portfolio name must be between 3 and 256 characters in length, and cannot include a tab or a comma character, since these are used as column delimiters in the returns file. In addition, a portfolio name cannot be the same as that of an existing security.

💡
The Portfolio field is always converted internally to upper case before being used.

FIA is designed to process two such files at the same time, usually referred to as the portfolio and the benchmark.
